This is a special post wishing the Chief Proprietor of notjustOk.com, Mola OG, a very happy birthday. When he wakes up to see this, I'm sure the first thing on his mind would be "Ovie, you dey crase." Well, yes! I admit. I'm crazy... about this blog. I've literally been a fan for way longer than I've been an author... just ask the "older" heads. Mola's workrate, in terms of keeping the fans up-to-speed as regards the goings-on in Naija music, is second to none. The ease with which he liaises with the artistes and readers as well as his promptness in replying emails from well-wishers/fellow promoters shows how humble and dedicated he is. On a personal note, I have certainly benefitted from the contagious nature of his commitment. He's taught me the ABCs of blogging (I swear, I knew nothing about using html before)... all for free!

Since this also qualifies as a music post, it's only right to put up one of Mola's favorite songs from an artiste he almost single-handedly unearthed and " notjustOk Hyped" on the blog, ADOL.

Let's take this time out to wish this korrect Lagos/Kwara boy a happy
birthday, and many more fruitful, music-filled years to come. Joyeux Anniversaire, Mon amie!!!

This is an exciting blog. Exciting because the blog is exposing Web 2.0, Internet startups created for or by Nigerians. Read the below for a full explanation.

"StartupsNigeria
is a weblog that reviews and analyses web startups in Nigeria, as well
as tech/mobile products and services in Nigeria that are making an
impact in today’s new web space.

The idea is to connect global web-savvy blogs and businesses with
those in Nigeria, as well as to empower new Web 2.0 startups in Nigeria
to developing technologies and applications that would add value to
users. The site will be featuring blogs on startups advice, news,
communities, etc that would provide information on the latest gists
around startups in Nigeria as well as provide tips and advice for
Nigerian web entrepreneurs on how to start and build successful online
startups."

Basically, the blog tells you about a new company or technology and explains to you how it works. Then the author goes on to give you his opinion on the startup or technology. If you are interested in knowing about newly created (startup) company that is technology, mobile or Web related, go to StartupsNigeria Dot Com, it is packed with information on all these new Nigerian startup companies. I was happy to learn that there are several Web 2.0 type of sites out there catering to Nigerian(s) and actually impressed at how the blog stays on top of information. I love it!...
